“Empire” star Jussie Smollett was brutally attacked by 2 men who beat him up, put his head in a noose and screamed, “This is MAGA country.”

Sources directly connected to Jussie tell TMZ, the actor arrived in Chicago from New York late Monday, and at around 2 AM he was hungry and went to a Subway. We’re told when shortly after he walked out on his way home, someone yelled, “Aren’t you that fot ‘Empire’ n**?”

The 2 men – both white and wearing ski masks – viciously attacked Jussie as he fought back, but they beat him badly and fractured a rib. They put a rope around his neck, poured bleach on him and as they left they yelled, “This is MAGA country.”

I dont believe him because I dont believe that he is telling the truth. I think it is a publicity stunt. How many other people were beaten up in Chicago by people wearing MAGA hats? Is it an epidemic? What reason do you supposed he alone just happened to be the guy attacked over how many other Americans of African decent in the Chicago area?

Over the past year in Chicago, how many other people were beaten up by MAGA White Supremacists? Let me guess…none?
